You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.

Back off stalker! If it wasn't note worthy why'd you note it? Ooooh schoooooooled you. Stay in the baby pool so you don't get hurt!

Really? I'd say you're the stalker, as a matter of fact. You come in here, you're fair game. Or, don't you understand the rules? And, enjoy your little "victory;" I'm off to my own life, thank you very much.

Until tomorrow, Commie-loving Nazis!

Okay so I'll take that on faith shall I

As far as i'm aware evil old one demon thingies don't feel grief at the loss of mortals, but hell i'm no expert.

It's already established Buffyverse canon that you don't necessarily need a soul to feel emotion, even love. Spike for example demonstrated romantic love for both Drusilla and Buffy and still loved his mother after being turned despite the lack of a soul.

Illyria's move towards a more human personality could just be Fred's memories rather than a remnant of her soul.

Anyhow the God-King of the Smurfs wasn't evil so much as seriously megalomaniacal

Fair point but let us not forget that Spike (and indeed vampires in general) were originally human therefore it could simply be a memory of the emotion and some latant psychological need to still feel that emotion, rather like an amputee feeling 'phantom pains'. Illyria was completely demonic therefore she has never had the oppurunity before her imprisonment to feel 'human' emotions. Indeed her only contact with humanity was when she (for want of a better word) consumed Fred's soul. Therefore her apparent development of human aspects must be directly linked to some shard of Fred's consciousness remaining intact within her. This gradual progression of Illyria towards humanity, her grief at the death of Wesley and her desire to avenge him, could indicate that Fred's soul was in fact begining to reemerge.
Also strictly speaking Spike was obsessed with Buffy. There is a difference.
